Becoming tired of living the single life following her divorce, Judith has it in her mind to rekindle the relationship with her ex-husband and start the marriage over again. And her children, who live with Robert, their father, want it too - particularly the two older boys, Kester and Michael. But Robert has other ideas. He is in a new relationship now, with warm and gentle Netta, and for the first time in years he is truly happy.
But this is something that Kester and Michael cannot accept. And Netta it is who is the fly in the ointment. But for her, they reckon, they would all be back together again, a complete, loving family once more.
And so the boys' pathological hatred grows, focused on the unsuspecting Netta, a hatred eventually erupting in a sustained scene of horror and violence that will change their lives for ever.
